Been installing a long time with 15 Felt under hardwood,I will not do a job without it, never smelled any odor, never heard a customer complain.
I had a long converstation with Tom Miraldi the CEO of Somerset Hardwoods about felt, could not pin him down on it.He said use what you feel comfortable with.
I few weeks later I did a Mohawk longstrip job, the basement, was damp, the floor we were going over was 8"x3/4 Pine slats from about 1930, you could see the basement throught the floor. I preinspected it and called Mohawk guess what they said... 15 mil Tarpaper.
Did a big job for a retailer back in the day, it was the sister of the jobsite owners house, one of 152 houses.
It was close to a new lake, no basement, 3 foot crawl space. I was they only one they wanted doing because.... I used tarpaper.
They say it has no moisture value but I say it does, use it you will be pleased.
Rosin paper.... we use that wrap our Christmas packages... never found a use for it on the floor..... oh yeah we used it one time to sweep our trash into...
